Cerebral Palsy Claims
Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects movement, coordination, and muscle control, often caused by brain damage during birth.
If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy due to medical negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
At HPA Solicitors, we specialize in cerebral palsy claims and offer compassionate, expert legal support to families affected by this life-changing condition.
What is a Cerebral Palsy Claim?
Cerebral palsy claims arise when a child develops cerebral palsy as a result of medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. This can include failure to monitor the baby’s health, delayed or incorrect treatment during delivery, or mishandling of birth complications.
Common Causes of Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy can occur due to various factors, such as:
- Oxygen Deprivation: A lack of oxygen to the baby’s brain during labor or delivery can cause brain damage, leading to cerebral palsy.
- Infection During Pregnancy: Infections like rubella or toxoplasmosis during pregnancy can lead to brain damage.
- Trauma During Birth: Forceful delivery methods or failure to manage birth complications like shoulder dystocia can lead to cerebral palsy.
- Failure to Diagnose and Treat Complications: Failure to diagnose or respond to signs of fetal distress, bleeding, or other birth complications can result in brain injury and cerebral palsy.
